The following is a list of some of the top books we recommend. The list is divided into the main categories of a well-rounded Christian worldview. It is rare (probably impossible) to find a book in which you agree with literally everything (other than the Bible!), and this list is no exception. We consider these books to be very useful and important and solid, but this list should not be taken to imply that we are in complete agreement with literally everything in every book.
